Frost WolfWhat do you think is responsible for lemmy’s growth over other alternatives like KBin and Tildes?
AlexmitterAs someone who first switched to lemmy, and then quickly switched to kbin due to rampant de-federation in the lemmy world, I say I just first heard about lemmy.
But, Kbin is much more modern, and spectating the changes done in the last days alone, it moves fast and attracts many developers while all lemmy 0.18 did was breaking federation with kbin. I can fully recommend the switch to Kbin, its that good.
About Tildes, it seems to be more of a clone of Digg in the old days.
genoxidedev1I personally also went with Lemmy first but switched to Kbin after 2 days because I preferred it's interface (as well as the full transparency on up/downvotes).
I heard about Tildes way before all the API stuff went down (like 2021-ish) but a text only platform just never was my cup of tea, personally.
sabI have never heard of Tildes before, but checked it out now since you said it's text only.
I actually kind of love the look of that site - would have loved to see it as a federated text-only alternative to Lemmy and kbin!
